The House:

As you enter the foyer of this house, you'll find the formal dining room on the left side and a multi-purpose room on the right. At the moment, the multi-purpose room is set up as a nursery, but it can easily be converted to a formal parlor, den, office, or music room. Continuing on to the back of the house, you'll find the great room with a casual living room, kitchen, and eating nook.

The master bedroom with ensuite bath is tucked in behind the garage and is separated from the other bedrooms to give your sims some privacy from the demands of child-rearing. On the other side of the house, you'll find two bedrooms with a shared full bath.

A powder room and access to the garage are off of the short hallway to the master suite, accessible from the eat-in kitchen. The attached garage and optional basement are roughed-in, for future use. The lot is small, but fully landscaped, with easily-playable views from the front of the house.

The Series:

Rise Up 11B is the second in a series of matching modern starter-furnished one-story houses on 3x2 lots. It was inspired by a real floor plan, but modified to fit on a small lot, simified, and redesigned with a modern exterior. Choose between a ground level home or the same house on a foundation with a basement.

Homes in this series are meant to be the next step up from a starter. Rooms are reasonably-sized. Furnishings are minimal and starter-style to keep costs down. There are no extraneous items like pictures and sculptures, although skill items are available. You can move your family in and have everything that you need, or consider the existing furnishings to be placement suggestions and upgrade to your liking.

Technical Details:

Some pets cannot navigate 2-click stairs. If you intend to play a family with pets, you might want to use the ground level lot.

The unfinished roof affects the environment score for the outside of the house. If you want to increase the environment score, you might want to add floor tiles to the top of the roof.

There is no room for a functional driveway at the front of the house. If you wish to add a driveway inside of the garage, you will have to place the driveway extension piece using the "moveobjects on" cheat.

The basement has a column which can prevent your basement from flooding on low-lying ground, depending upon your EPs. Please see http://www.modthesims.info/showthre...840#post3579840 for details. If you'd like, the column is easy to remove using the foundation tool, and the ground inside of the column can be flattened using the level terrain tool.

The roof is a "foundation roof", created with inexpensive foundation walls. If necessary, these walls can be removed using the foundation tool; the standard method of removing normal walls will not work.

The lot price shown is for the basement version of the house. The ground level version is slightly less expensive, at $50,706.


Lot Size: 3x2
Lot Price: $52,276
